Paris Hanoi

3 Vietnamese brothers . their Mum & Dad got a flair to do excellent food out of nothing ch. In 1996 they rented a food stand in a Rue de Charonne Yard Sale and got rave success
from the crowd.

they decided to rent a small spot in the ( at that time ) unexpensive rue de Charonne and became instantly succesfull.

The reason for that : The food is flavorfull and unexpensive ( still is) , the place is Cosy and cute
. the team is extremely nice ( and god know they are busy ).

Whether you pass by at lunch time or diner time the place is jam packed so reservation is important but you can also order for take away if you want .

Attention : NO CREDIT CARD / bring
your Cash but since the prices are soft , it s ok .

Charonne is not an Asian neighborhood ( like 13e arrondissment or Belleville Area ). So when you see a restaurant always full with chinese tourists and a line outside every single day ( i live next to it ), you can't help but being curious .

They are specialised with Chinese Fondue but not only . There you can eat stuff you 've never eaten in your regular chinese restaurants . Their specialty of sautéed Shrimps is among the best dish i've ever ate in a chinese restaurant ( i made the
mistake of ordering a side of cantonese rice that i finally ended up bringing home untouched since the dish was self sufficient) .

The taste is ridiculous . One advice though , if you don't like spicy let them know about it cause they bring the
heat almost every time to stick up to their clientele's taste

Nouilles

Nouilles is preparing its own Noodles and they want you to know about it .

Watching the guy juggling with it when you pass by the window is catchy enough to make you come in and once you taste
it , you're hooked .

You might enjoy those noodles in a Pho or as full Dish . Flavors are fresh ( sometimes, a little more seasonning is necessary ) . I m not that fond of the dining room downstairs but most of the time i take it away .

Ravioli de Juin

Chinese Dumpling can be extraordinary when fresh or plain when frozen and industrial.

No doubt about the freshness here since they prepare the dumpling right in front of you .

As for the taste, my preference goes to the pork
dumplings but you can try a little bit of everything to make you own opinon .

the place is quite and a little small if you're a numerous group ( but this is ideal for one to 4 party top) . The cooks were nice enough to answer my stupid questions
about Dumplings ...

CHINA CLUB 50 Rue de Charenton, 75012 ParisM°Bastille /Ledru Rollin

I could have put a picture from the inside to make you RUN to it . I encourage you not to peep on the internet before you go cause that is the way i experienced it 20 years ago and i just fell in love with the place instantly .

Picture this ,
Hong Kong 1920's , Colonial asian style . It feels like time just stopped and you're in for a time travelling experience. This place look stunning , the team is so much nicer than what you would expect from such a big place (try the infamous El Barrio nearby
for that matter) and so are prices on the menu . you can do a whole evening out of it.

Sometimes i had a reservation and sometimes i did'nt but usually they find a way even if they are extremely busy ( especially the week end ) . I
confess the food is very good but not exceptional but it's reasonably priced . The place is infectious and will grow on you .
